Another thing that really impressed me with this storm system was the main frontal precipitation band. For those who were not awake to see the rain/snow transition on Saturday night (between about midnight and 1 a.m.), it had probably the largest snowflakes I have ever seen. Some of the aggregates were over 2" and probably close to 3" in diameter. Snowfall rates briefly reached or exceeded 4" per hour, at least in parts of the valley.
